Example logon script

Here is an example of a simple logon script.

The example requires that your workstation is connected to the Internet so that JET 3270 can connect to the Library of Congress TN3270 server at locis.loc.gov.

• Using a text editor, create a file named "scriptloc.txt" with the following contents:

# Script to search for "platypus" in the LOC catalogue
waitfor "Choice:"
send "1[enter]"
send "3[enter]"
send "b platypus[enter]"

• Start JET 3270 from the original Shortcut.htm file
• If JET 3270 is running within the browser window:
  • Click the Close Session toolbar button (trash can/garbage bin icon).

  The Untitled Session Settings dialog box disappears.
